She came up on our weather side, hauled down the Engli . sh ensign, and hoisted one resembling Spanish ; hailed us, to know from whence we came; and where ,bound ; both of which ques= don's we relifse'd t 6 answer, and at the same time. told him I could hot recognize his colours; and that it he did not haul them down we shoUld fire into him ; he did so, lowered a boat: down, hoisted Portuguese colottii, and said lie; wished to board us.

EARLDOM OF HUNTINGDON.—The ATTORNEY GRNB-RAL of ENGLAND has declared HANS FRANCIS HASTINGS to be now Earl . of Huntingdoh. His Lordship claims ,the Earldom by virtue of the Pa tent, being the lineal descendant of . Sir Edward Hastings, fourth ton to Francis, second Earl or Huntingdon—all the intermediate Male , branches of the family being extinct. Sir Henry Hastings; eldest son of Edward, had four sons, Henry; Walter, Sir Richard, and Anthony. The present Earl is descended from Henry, the eldest son.— Walter and Sir Richard died without issue. An thony, the fourth son, married a Miss Watkinton, by whom he had one son, Henry Hastings, who settled in Ireland, and was the ancestor of the Rev. James Hastings, of .Newtown Butler, county of Fermanagh, whose only son, the Rev. Anthony Hastings, is married to a sister of the Earl of Granard, The antiquity and nobility of this fa mily require no comment. The present Earl is the eleventh Earl of Huntingdon, and the third English Earl. Created Baron Hastingt of Ashby de la Zouch, July 26, 1461 ; Earl of Hunting don, Dec. 8, 1529. The Earl and Countess of HAEROWEY and fa mily arrived on Monday evening at Lord GREN• PIECE'S house, in Stanhope-street, Mayfair, from the Continent. This day his Lordship left town for his seat, Saudon Hall, Staffordshire ; on Mon day next her Ladyship and family will follow. A Very fine yacht appeared off Margate on Sa turday morning, bearing up with full sail for the Horse Channel. On reconnoitring her, she dis tinctly appeared to be Sir WILLIAM CURTIs'S celebrated pleasure-boat ; but whilst the inspec tion was going, or, the identical boat, belonging Co the worthy Baronet, hove in sight. The Go vernment men were not long in hoisting their signal to the Cust6M-house . cutters, atid in almost the twinkling of an eye, they boarded the strange vessel; and found her to be a Smuggler, heavily laden With spirits, Stc. There was a full meeting of the Gentlemen in terested in the Linde Canal, on the 24th tilt, at the Stanhope Arms, ill Holsworthy. Sir A. 0. MOLESwoRTII presided. Mr. PRESTON, ill a speech pregnant with sound information and ability, took a luminous view of the many advantages which resulted to the country from canals in ge neral, and pointed . out the peculiar advantages which could not fail to attend that now In con temiilation. A plan was also proposed, and is likely to be adopted, by which the whole suns ne cessary for the 'undertaking will be raised {Muse diately- DREADFUL EX . 7,ClDENT.—Yesterday, about one o'clock in the afternoon, Master Charles Smith, a 'fine youth of 16 years of age, son of John Smith, Esq. of Enfield, net NVith the following melancholy accident, which deprived him of life : He took a ride out for pleasure an his little pony in the forenoon, and On pig return home he, by some accident, was thrown from his horse, and his Pout sticking in the stirrhp, the horse took fright End galloped oft at full speed; dragging the unfortunate youth after him on the road; his head dashibg against the stones ; and no pe:Son being near to stop the horse, he was drawn upwalmds of half a mile ; when stopped he was quite dead, skull dashed to Pieces, and dreadfully wangled.. THE COLONIES. The unfortunate dissentious which have taken place in the BAHAMAS have, we are assured, ex. cited so strong an interest in all persons connected with our Colonial Establishments in, general, to wards which the attention of TirE SUN hits been, and will continue to be, Partieulaily greeted, that -We much regretted the necessity of suspending our Extracts from the Series of Bahama Journals; with which we have been favoured. We shall now pro ceed in our Extracts without interrnption, dividing them, however, into such proportions as will not interfere with that Miteellanethii character of cult' Paper by. which we endeavour, to gratify the Readers in general. t~nr: tFiotia Phe PoYid'Gtritette tind I3ithitintiiiili4.ellter, July 26.) MESSRS: EDITOI3 . ,—The extracts alluded to in the lettei• in your P . aper of the' 18th,' from " A late MeMber of A.ssembly,7 'wete sent publi;• Cation With the intention of 'shewing pep"- pie of these Island's, .who seem to be carried away by a contrary notion, that the power of 'commif - oiFtii for conterriptS gene'rall, claimed by 'the A's 'sembly, does not atiise from anY inherent Sight, as having been a . questionab le one even by the House of Commons so late as. 1771, and as hai ing grown, as far as it was then acquies . Ced in, mit O'f usurpation. That this was the ifiCt the SUbse quint extracts frbm the 'Journals of the tibu;a .of Commons Will confirm : (Vol. 1 Page 603.) Upon occasion of a jurisdiction unlawfully as tinied by the Haase ia the year 1621., Mr. Attor ney• General Noye gave his opinion as follows " ,No doubt but in smile bases this House m* give judgment ; in matter's of reparns, and cOh• cerning members of our House, or, falling out in our view in Parliament ; but, for foreign matters, kuoweth not how we can judge it. Knoweth not that we have been used to give judgment in any Case but tbo a before mentioned." Sir Edward Coke, upon the same subject, says; (page 604.) " No question but : this is a House of record, and.that it bath power of judicature in some "cases—have power to judge of returns and members of our House ; one, no member, offend... ing but Of the Parliament, when he came hither and justified it, was censured for it." Thus, says a writer on the subject, the power of the House was admitted where they are acting as a Court of Judicature, viz, on elections, re turns, and in such tonlempts as immediately. in terrupt their, proceedings; or, as Mr. lloye ex presses it, " falling out in their view in Parlia ment." The question has, indeed, been recently set at rest as to the House of Comin'on'a, in the case of Sir Francis Burdett against the ;),*eakeir Abbott ; but its recency only proves more clearly that the right was disputed : even at a very latedate. Bat how was this important question set at. rest ? Not certainly by a Resolution, that " the house wat 4ole Judge of its own niivilegis, and that the JudgeS Of the Courts of Law were not Competent to bear Or determine on any argument touching , the same." No. It was decided by an Appeal to the Judges of the Law, and their judgment was confirmed by the House of Lords. But let us see what Lord Erskine says on this subject, when the judgment of the Court of King's Bench was before the House of Lords. " At that time, his Lord:. Ship said (when the imprisonment took place), k was an opinion expressed by persons of great weight in the House of Commons, and it was ge nerally thought to have been its intention, not to permit any action to be proceeded in so far as to ha%'e its privileges at all questioned or ,canvassed in a Uilint of Law, and that iMpriinnment would attach upon Fill who issued process or counte nanced it in judgment. He had felt the utmost alarm at a proposition so dangerous to the liberty of the subject, and had expressed himself on that occasion in the House with great warmth ; every Word of what he had said he would adhere to, and was ready at all times to repeat, as he repented Of none. lie could not, therefore, avoid expressing his heartfelt satisfaction at the course which had in the present instance been pursued. The Speaker, though standing perhaps in a case which might have been different in argument from that of inferior persons (though lie would give, no opinion upon that), had put in his plea like the most private man. He bad not objected to the jurisdiction tf the Court of King's Bench, but had put himself upon the country for the fact, and pleaded his justification to the Judges of the LaW, so that if the Court bad decided against him he must have beet] bound by the judgment. The Case had been most ably argued, and every objec tion taken which could support the plaintiff's case; but if, instead of its being the Ciiimnitnient of the Home of CommonS, it had been only that of one of the superior Courts of Law, he should have given the same judgment, as be could not agree that the Com Mons had any higher privilege of commitment for contempt than that which was necessarily possessed by the superior Courts for their own protection, and that of the people whom they protected. He always felt more than he `could 'express in support of the legal jurisdiction 'of tht country, and he was sure if they were over b6rni, the Sun of British freedoni would set to'r ever." It maY be preStned, from his Lordship's ex pressions, that 'something like the supremacy claimed by the As;ernhly hal been intended on Om part of the House of Comnions, but their wisdoni would not allow theta so readily to forget what was justly due to the liberty of the subject, aunt the first pi ineiple of natural justice. But althouti the question has been thuS tteei:i ed with re'svcct to the House of Com:mins, does it follow that it is hko decided with 'respect to the Assembly is there so close a connection be tween tire two, that the litter is to be inshrined within the powers and privileges of the fopner ? The Constitutions of the t Assemblies tlifter fundamentally, in many respects; (says Air. Pratt, then Attorney-General of England, an eminent lawyer, 'and quoted as such by George Chalmers, Esq. specking of the Assembly of Maryland.) , — , Our House of Commons Stands upon its own lawn, the Lex : whelease Assemblies in the Gog to gibe
